Interesting FIFA World Cup Records That Are Impossible To Break

The 2022 FIFA World Cup has started, and just in the first few days has thrown us some brilliant matches and broken some records. Like in the opening match, Qatar became the first host in the tournament’s history to lose their opening match. And one day 2, another record fell as Wales broke the record of the longest gap between consecutive World Cup appearances as they played their first game in the tournament after 64 years. 

And now, Cristiano Ronaldo joined the list as he scored against Ghana to become the only player in FIFA World Cup history to score in five different tournaments. The Portuguese overtook Pele, Lionel Messi and Gerd Muller to break the record.
